Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have anxiety, and I worry about literally every thing . I dont want to be made fun of so please dont laugh at me . I am always worried people are out to get me , or something bad is going to happen to me . I am in the process of getting health insurance so I cant even go to a therapist or doctors for anxiety help . I know realistically not every single person in the world is out to get me but sometimes I feel that way . I also have self esteem issues too and that plays a part with things because i worry nobody cares and that nobody would care if something happened. I am tired of feeling like things are going to happen to me . I got another job and Instead of being happy I worry that I'm going to mess up and be humiliated and laughed at . I hate how anxiety makes me worry about everything and want to feel happy. I want to enjoy things!! I just dont know what to do to improve things

Jay's podcasts are really good. I watch them on YouTube for free. Today, I watched his video about motivation. In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject. Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence: I am stuck because? I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.

As much as I swear by the healing power of humor, I don't like having my most painful problems used as the butt of sick jokes, either. You are far from alone in that reaction. I hope you will feel safe sharing to uncomfortable depths here and that you will be fortified by heartfelt empathy when you do.
I started my psychotherapy in 1972 and have had more therapists than I care to count since then. As valuable as those professionals have been in my healing journey, their help has been pale in comparison to the help I have gotten from my peer support network. The pros I most respect aren't even offended when I say that to their faces. They also have great respect for the value of peer support.
DS is part of my peer support network and welcome aboard. Hope you find stabilizing companionship here while you discover what all you can do to improve your current situation.
Healing happens. Hope it happens to you.
Hang in there! Even though you don't have the resources you want yet, you can come talk to us when you feel the pull. We are all here for you.
Nobody here would laugh at you, there's nothing to laugh at. You sound like a great person who's probably doing a lot better at things than you perceive yourself as doing.
We would care if something happened to you, and God would also care. You're important and you have so much value, praying you feel better soon and find peace.
